Freezing in Battle for Gilneas

[Poreo]

As the title says, my comp freezes up in Battle for Gilneas EVERY time. I have tried all the advice given on a similar thread on the official forums to no avail. Advice included :

Disabling addons
Clearing WTF
Clearing Cache and Data/Cache

Even with no addons enabled, my game stutters HEAVILY and eventually locks up. The only workaround I have found is to run the game in Windowed mode(not windowed fullsceen). This prevents the eventual lock-up but the stuterring remains.

Here is my current list of addons :

Align
Auctionator
Bagnon
Bartender4
ButtonFacade (and skins)
dMedia (req. for Infinity Plates)
GemHelper
Gnomish Vendor Shrinker
Infinity Plates ( VERY outdated but I have tried disabling it, no effect)
Lose Control
Masque
Media (req. for Ouf_NIN)
MSBT
oGlow
OmniCC
oUF_MovableFrames
oUF_NIN
Postal
Raven
rChat
ReforgedTooltip
SafeQueue
StAddonManager
TellMeWhen
TSM ( several modules )

My first guess was mad outdated addons, I went after Auctionator and updated it, disabled Infinity Plates and MSBT. None of these worked. I also disabled every addon that I didn't need in a BG ( auctionator, align, TSM etc etc. ) Nothing. I even disabled EVERY addon and went with full default UI, still stuttering heavily

At this point I realized this couldn't be an addon issue could it ? Why would it only act up in a single bg ?

IMPORTANT I have reinstalled Windows 7 followed by a fresh WoW install also ! This was followed by updating my GPU drivers

Has anyone else had this problem ?

What hardware do you got? You sure the drivers are up to date?

Laptop

i5 480m 2.6 GHz
1gb Radeon 5730m
8gb G.SKILL
80gb Intel SSD

Yeah the drivers are up to date. This wasn't happening before 4.3, I'd like to add that

I would post this issue in the Blizzard Tech Support forums. If it's causing problems on a completely fresh install down to a complete reinstall of the OS and drivers plus the game, it's far our of reach of what problem any addon can cause.

On a side note with laptop craphics cards, no matter how much memory it has, the GPU will always be lower quality than in desktop systems since they're required to run with lower power. It sounds strange, but on my laptop, I observe an increase in GPU performance if I plug it in as opposed to running off the battery even though my power settings are the same in both profiles.

Yeah I try to have it plugged it all the time. I'm going to post on the official forums now, I've never had a problem this annoying

Thanks for the help

I smell some sort of OS issue mate, drivers or something.

I would format my machine, meaning clean the hard-drive and install fresh W7. Backup files before you do that! Then you can try with a fresh installation. If you don't want that I guess you could a reinstall on WoW only but up to you, not sure how pro you are at computors. :P
